A Palestinian boy runs through the empty market of the old city in the West Bank city of Hebron, Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008. With its dueling street names in Hebrew and Arabic, its shuttered Palestinian stores spray painted with stars of David and the tomb of a shared patriarch split between the warring worshippers of two religions, the city of Abraham has taken the feud between Israelis and Palestinians to an absurd extreme. Yet for all the city's complexities, the essence of Hebron's anguish is simple: one forefather, one city and two peoples, one feeling invaded, the other convinced it has come back to its biblical birthright, right down to the deed of sale recounted in the Book of Genesis, when Abraham purchased a burial plot for 400 silver shekels.
